short one-shot (1,277 wc)
Yunho is always Jaejoong's exception.
"and the half-breed arrives!".
Were the first words he heard the second he entered their class room and as usual, he ignored the harsh welcome that his childish classmates always do for the past two years of his study in College and just continued to walk towards his only friend on his class.
Having a Korean father and an American mother, it wasn’t easy for Jaejoong to live a simple life that his mother always tells him since he was young. It also didn’t help that he was raised in America then just suddenly transferred to Seoul in which he is going to study college.
At first, he was relieved to know that his appearance would look normal in Seoul than in LA; where he graduated senior high but damn how wrong he was. It wasn’t his fault that he assumed easily , the fact that he does looked Korean in every angle that made him an apple of the eye of every bully from the schools he attended way back in America. Being in the land where he was born made him feel normal and add to the fact that he was accepted to one of the famous university of the city, NSU - where student’s are smart, geniuses and open-minded.
Everything was running smooth at first, he was succeeding on having a low profile as he processed his papers and enrolled to the course of BSN but when the class started, everything changed.
Language barrier.
It was the main reason how 50% of the student population found out that he was not pure Korean, and couldn’t speak its language except for English; that they started to call him a half-breed vampire which are popular nowadays. He pushed aside every name they called him, they were fun to hear in fact until they put him so low. He could really get used to being called a half-breed for he knew that they pertains him to vampires, but when the students, especially his classmates started to compare him to half-breed dogs, it was then that he knew, he was far from living a simple life that he always wanted.
He waved at his only friend named Yoochun as his other classmates started to imitate dog barks. He was used to it really, but he can’t help but to still hurt. It was no one’s fault that he can’t speak Korean, his father refused him to learn, or more like speak the language but it doesn’t mean he can’t understand it.
“let’s just stay outside than staying with the bunch of fools”. YooChun said in korean and Jaejoong nodded, following his friend and stopping in front of the railway just in front of their room. He leaned on the metal handle and looked at the court in front of him, eyes searching for a certain sun-kissed student that was about to have his basketball practice that afternoon and a blushed instantly crept on his cheeks when he saw him already staring at him.
“are you nervous with your date later?”. His friend asked after the two stopped their staring contest. Jaejoong turned to look at him, only to shrug his shoulders and hung his head low. Yoochun sighed and can’t help but to pity his friend that had lost all his self-esteem with all the bullying he experienced in his life and it didn’t help that he’s currently dating one of the famous student of the university.
--------------
He could feel that all eyes were on him as he walked beside his boyfriend, their hands intertwined with each other as they walked out of the university gate to start their first date.
Yunho looked at the smaller man beside him that have his head hung low throughout their entire walk inside the university but he couldn’t understand why the other wasn’t looking up now that they’re outside. He was fully aware of the bullying that the other was experiencing even though Jaejoong was already on his 2nd year of study.
Honestly, he was also one of those students who laughed at him when they still haven’t met each other personally but after being introduced by his neighbour and the other’s only friend and classmate, he knew that moment that he would make Jaejoong fall for him no matter what. And since that day, he befriended and eventually courted the foreign student for half a year before it agreed to be his boyfriend.
He gently tugged the other’s hand to get its attention and the other did look up at him, eyes blinking cutely that made the taller student smile.
“where do you want to go first?”. He asked softly as they neared the center of the city. Jaejoong bit his lip, roaming his eyes on the fast food chains in front of them, then lifted his right arm to point at a certain food chain that he’s been carving for since earlier.
Yunho arched a brow at the chosen place; he had expected that Jaejoong would choose a fancy restaurant, knowing that the other was from a rich family, making him bring a large amount of money, it was their first date after all and he wants it to be perfect.
“McDonald’s? really?”. He asked, amusement evident on his engrish question.
Jaejoong smiled, feeling overwhelmed that his boyfriend for not more than a month speaks to him in a language that he could freely speak and understand. He bump his shoulder on the other’s muscular arm and said;
“caramel sundae addict remember?”. And he pulled him inside his favourite fast food chain.
---------------
They stood just outside Jaejoong’s house gate. It wasn’t the first time that Yunho brought him home yet they both feel nervous, that awkwardness was palpable between them.
The smaller man stood in front of Yunho, hands still holding onto each other as he looked at him shyly that made the taller student smile.
“I enjoyed our date. You ate too much sundae and fries”. He said with a laugh that made the other to glare at him but smiled sweetly at him after.
“I enjoyed it too except the part where you forced me to finish the spaghetti”. He replied with a pout that Yunho can’t help but to pull his cute, button nose.
Jaejoong scrunched his nose as Yunho let his poor nose go as his both hands made its way onto the other’s angelic, looking face.
“You can’t call sundae and fries dinner so I have to literally shove those pasta down your throat, you brat. And you still smell like caramel”. He said, playfully sniffing the other’s face that just blew air on him and sticking his tongue out at him after, making him smile at the other’s childish acts.
They stared at each other as Yunho’s thumb ran onto Jaejoong’s smooth cheeks and slowly leaned in, eyes crossing as he continued to stare at the pair of pouty, reddish lips that he’s about to kiss when;
Jaejoong covered his own mouth using his palm, eyes wide in panic as he stared at Yunho. The latter gently removed the hand covering his mouth and looked at the beautiful male in front of him questionably.
The smaller man bit his lip before asking. “You don’t happen to have Infectious Mononucleosis or any mouth infection right?”.
Yunho gaped like an idiot for a few seconds before he smiled and shook his ‘no’, and even before Jaejoong could utter any word, Yunho cup his face and pulled him into a kiss;
a kiss that started as an innocent to a passionate one.
And there and then Jaejoong didn’t care if he would acquire any disease; kissing Yunho was worth it all anyway.
